with shadow (2022) Painting by Wael Darwesh

Multiple personalities ... is just a way to evade or escape from reality, or perhaps the answer to the question of who are you? Or perhaps the reflection of an image in a rusty mirror that formed the question and the answer at the same time, when these characters were real and not illusion, perhaps this is the most important reason, but... it is not the only one, through glimpses of the accumulated memory when history began since childhood.
He was .... anonymous, and within him many dispersed personalities of one person and he lacked just a sense of identity, he felt his face in the mirror in an attempt to understand what was behind the thing, so he created within him multiple identities that deal in a natural way and exchange roles according to need and situation, and he is trying to provide conclusive evidence Due to the nature of the different identities, each personality was completely independent, had its own identity and was distinguished from other personalities in terms of the language of dialogue, thinking, balance, and everything... Each personality was independent and could deal with it as if it were a different individual with its own entity, each character takes a different shift and It represents the character of the championship responsible for distributing all the roles, and it is the one that implements and decides. It also embodies the defensive state and represents the protective state at the same time.
At some point... his subconscious mind decides to develop the personalities within the one body so that a character possesses all the characters, and decides to elect a character who represents all of the above to become the permanent dominator and the main front for protection.
Perhaps his fondness and constant preoccupation with numbers was the reason for the continuity of his struggle and overcoming his reality, or even his recollection of the paradox of love in an unusual atmosphere, if love represents an existential value, perhaps one of the very rare paradoxes of life in reality.
We do not care much about the beginnings, but about the details of the differences, all that is in the matter is a desire and will to establish his own world and be parallel to everything he rejects himself and exercises in it delusional freedom. Everything is as it seems.
The visual psychodrama was the entrance with which ideas, symbols and heroes were also treated. The dramatic situation is not devoid of surreal paradoxes, just like the life we live in, and nothing is devoid of strangeness unless it is within the habit. One body inhabits a temporary hero role, waiting for a situation that calls for the release of the new hero that the situation requires.
